MEDITATIONS Concerning praiers to Almighty God for the safety of ENGLAND when the Spaniards were come into the narrow Seas August 1588. As also other meditations concerning thanksgiuing for deliuering Englande from the cruelty of the Spaniards and for their meruailous confusion and ouerthrow By O. Pygge With a spirituall song of praises by P. Turner Doctor of phisicke Psalme 145.18 The Lord is neere to all that call vpon him yea to all that cal vpon him in truth Psalme 126.2.3 Then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with ioy then said they among the Heathen the Lorde hath done great things for them The Lord hath done great things for vs whereof we reioyce Printed at London by R. R. for Thomas Man 1589. TO THE READER MAnie are the waies by the which our most mercifull God hath sought to bring vs of England vnto true repentaunce Who is able to recken vp all the benefites spirituall and temporall that we haue receiued at his handes As the light of the Gospell shining in the middest of vs and the meruailous preseruation of our gratious Prince to our speciall comfort notwithstanding the manifold wretched practises of the wicked against her Highnesse person the state which he from time to time hath discouered and brought many of the principall authors to their deserued confusion He hath also chastised vs sundrie times and in diuerse maners threatned vs more plagues than as yet he hath brought vppon vs. Among other warninges this ought specially to bee remembred for euer Jsa 7.18 that this last Sūmer hissing for the Spaniards he brought thē so far from their owne Country so nere vnto our coasts with resolute minds to haue made hauocke of vs. Jt was not without him as blaspheming Rabsache spake of his masters forces comming against Hierusalem Jsa 36 10. no doubt more truely then hee was ware of True it is their purpose was not to doe that which the Lorde meant but rather in the pride of their hearts to haue made manifest breaches of his commaundements in seeking the suppressing of his truth here professed and the conquest of a lande whereunto they can make no iust claime or title Howbeit wee ought to looke into the Lordes secrete purpose ouer-ruling all and carrying men to that which they knowe not yea cleane contrarie to that which they purpose Jsa 10.6.7 euen in the selfe same action Therefore whatsoeuer they intended the Lorde in them shooke his rod ouer vs to draw vs to repentance that so in deede hee might not strike He put vs in great feare that so hee might driue vs to flie to him where onely comfort is by earnest praiers At that time many praied and confessed sinnes and blessed bee his name that for his owne honour hearde the cries of his poore seruants so bearing witnes that it is no vain thing in the time of distresse to humble our selues before him How blessed the euent hitherto hath bin is generally knowen amongnst vs and the comfort thereof what true English heart is there that doth not feele and reioyce therein Jt remaineth that the daunger then imminent beeing escaped wee of this Natian doe not onely with our mouthes continually giue God praises but that also by the rodde thus shaken ouer vs and as it were readie to haue bene laid vpon our shoulders we learn to turne to him forsaking our euill waies least not profiting thus as the Lorde calleth for at our handes in the ende he bring vpon vs deserued destruction Against this destruction as it is my part alwaies to praie by Gods assistance I hope to praie so I should haue great cause to be glad if by any meanes the Lord would vouchsafe to vse me as his instrument to stirre vp though neuer so few to such a serious consideration of these thinges as ought to bee in all For the which purpose I present vnto thee Christian Reader this little treatise heere following containing certaine meditations of praiers and thanksgiuings Those that be of praiers I wrote at such time as the Spaniardes were come into the narrow seas and then there were some copies written to the vse of some friendes True it is in the confession of sinnes vpon some occasiō there is some thing altered from that which was then written but in the rest J remember little otherwise than was then sette downe as the copies then giuen forth can beare witnesse Since our wonderful deliuerance I wrote the other meditations concerning thankesgiuing Both ioyned together in some vritten bookes I haue sithence presented to some of good calling to whome J was bounden to wishe all good as well for their profession of the truth as for speciall kindenesses towarde mee And to more J had some purpose that waie to haue made them common Howbeit beeing read ouer by some learned and godlie men of good iudgement which thought they might bee profitable if they were put in print I was content in that behalfe to yeelde vnto their iudgement and accordinglie doe heere offer them to thy viewe J hope thou mayest make some vse vnto thy selfe of either of them if thou reade them with a sanctified minde For although the Meditations concerning Praiers maye seeme vnto some to no greate purpose because that occasion for that time is now remoued Yet the sinnes of England doe stil remaine with which no doubt God is highly displeased These thou maist there see in some sort confessed as also how by thy selfe from a feeling heart thou maist confesse both them and thine owne and humbly craue pardon Moreouer the hatred and mallice of the Spaniard and his partakers is not yet quenched but rather we may be assured much more increased so as they will but wait opportunitie to set vpon vs againe Besides other Churches as those of France and of the lowe Countries whose case wee ought to tender haue many deadly enemies which thirste after bloude So as still necessarily there is required an imploying of our and their forces against such commō aduersaries I hope that frō those meditations thou maist haue some help to further thee with comforte in thy praiers for the one and against the other The meditations for thankesgiuing J trust to euery indifferent reader will seeme to be of some vse My purpose is not to require that either of them bee vsed as an ordinarie forme of praier or thankesgiuing but that by reading of them and exercising thy selfe sometimes in them thou shouldest helpe thy selfe towards a serious accomplishmēt of those dueties though thou do it more shortly and in other words Jf for these endes this my poore trauaile may any way further thee I praie thee giue the praise to God to whome alone it is due and remember to praie most earnestly for me and for all the rest whom it pleaseth him to vse in anie sort for thy comfort This one thing I desire to haue remembred that many of the thinges specially mentioned in the praiers haue
